Hello,
we are considering installing continuous glued hardwood flooring in our large open-plan living and dining area with an open kitchen (with underfloor heating)…
While browsing online, I came across “bamboo parquet,” which is said to be ideal for this purpose (very hard, durable, low thermal resistance, and OF COURSE very eco-friendly).
I have already checked several suppliers’ websites (bambuskomfort.de, bambeau.de, bambusconcepts.de), with prices ranging from about 30 € per sqm (3 sq ft) to 80 € per sqm (7.4 sq ft).
Can anyone recommend a manufacturer or retailer? We would prefer a relatively dark parquet, visually similar to walnut wood or the like...
Greetings from Franconia

but since we are planning without a ventilation system and will install a hygrometer in each room, I think we will have a reasonable handle on it... if necessary, an external humidifier can be added.

nordanney4 Sep 2013 12:45Is it really a problem if the parquet flooring expands and contracts? We installed our parquet (wenge) using a high-quality flexible adhesive to allow for movement. It has been working very well for about 7 years, and the joints are almost invisible to the naked eye. We don’t use a humidifier, and the heating is through underfloor heating. It might also be partly due to the wood species, as wenge does not expand much.

DerBjoern4 Sep 2013 13:53I believe it is important to realize that a natural product like hardwood flooring will always expand and contract to some extent and will never be perfect. For those who want something different, there are plenty of artificial alternatives available today. In my opinion, hardwood flooring only truly becomes beautiful after it has experienced a generation of family life.

I think she might see it a bit differently...
